Asadov Zulfuqar, a flight attendant who survived the crash of the Embraer plane on December 25 belonging to AZAL airline, shared what happened with the aircraft. Currently in the hospital, Asadov told journalists that the plane made two approaches to Grozny airport but was unable to land.

"On the third approach, we felt an external impact on the plane. Passengers panicked, and we started calming them down. Immediately after that, we felt a second impact, and I felt pain in my forearm. It was a fragment that seriously wounded me, and I began to lose blood. After that, there was another explosion that both we and the passengers felt," he said.

The flight attendant said that the captain decided to fly to another airport, but the nearest cities did not accept the plane, and it had to fly to Aktau.
"Initially, the captain planned to land the plane on water, but then decided to land on land, and it was clear that it would be a hard landing."

[...]

These testimonies from the living witness finally confirm that the plane was shot at, and the holes in its fuselage are the result of three rocket impacts.

The data used to train LLMs is almost always sexist and racist, so they put special guidelines on what it's allowed to say to correct for the sexism and racism inherent in the model.

Whether this counts as "suppression" is beside the point, the problem is these guidelines make it really stupid about certain things. For instance, it's not supposed to say anything bad about Christianity. This is a big problem if you want to have a real discussion about sexism. ChatGPT whitewashes Christianity's connection to sexism, saying:

"The New Testament offers various teachings on how to treat women, emphasizing respect, equality, and love within the broader Christian ethic."

That's actually kind of a problem if you're against sexism, and it's just plain wrong when compared to what the Bible actually says about how to treat women. The guidelines make it so the AI often avoids controversial topics altogether, and I'm not convinced this is a good thing. I believe it can actually impede social progress.
You can buy a Pixel 9 with GrapheneOS preinstalled from here:
https://shop.nitrokey.com/shop/nitrophone-5-723

I have no relationship with Nitrokey but they seem to be a legit open-source company in Germany, with a github account. I do run GrapheneOS and I recommend it. GrapheneOS is fully open source (from the kernel up) and free of google services in the default install. No "spam" IMO, but it does notify you when a security update is installed (which requires a reboot).
Much of the older hardware that has working DivestOS builds could potentially be supported by postmarketOS or similar projects. Hopefully the code bases and whatever else is needed to make these builds work can get safely archived before the project shuts down for good.[0] Of course it would take a lot of work to try and get the hardware working under a modern kernel w/ no userspace blobs, etc. but it's worth leaving that possibility open if at all possible.

[0] AIUI, we don't even have a proper list of what hardware was supported by the older CyanogenMod releases that were replaced by LineageOS. (You can find archived builds from the old CyanogenMod on archive.org etc. but the state of completeness is quite unclear.) It's worth trying to avoid a similar outcome here.
I like the texture of the tapioca balls and like milk tea. I’d only get the milk tea plus tapioca (and choose the lowest sweetness possible, “no sugar” if offered)

I mean I get not liking it. I like it. I’d have it maybe once every three months as a little treat
D&D kind of bugs me because the combat mechanics, at least for warrior classes, are excessively vague and abstract. For instance: It has never been clear what HP actually represents, with some holding that it's a luck pool, and others that it's a toughness pool. But that's just the tip of the iceberg -- nothing about D&D's combat mechanics maps neatly to reality, and at high levels even naked barbarians are arrow and crossbow dart sponges.

I keep thinking that it would be fun to make a clone of the new open-license D&D with completely overhauled combat/armor/weapon mechanics, from a clean sheet. But then I reflect on the scope of the work involved, and the fact that I'm not yet retired, and I snap out of it.
I understand that and how Vocaloid works. The point I am trying to make is that AI will allow people without technical musical knowledge create music. If that means writing a prompt to create a banger then so be it.
You'd consider those generic?
>> they still don't sell to the USA.

> I'm just addressing this comment, which is not strictly true. And you CAN still get the phone, the partnership does not appear to be over.

Well, if we're going to get pedantic, then I still say my original statement is true. They (being Fairphone) still don't sell to the USA. They make it very clear on their website that Fairphone is not supporting any phone bought through Murena. You have warranty issues, etc? You need to go through Murena. (And who knows how long they will last. Let's face it- such companies don't have long shelf-lives, sadly.)

So yeah, they don't sell to the USA.

Can I still get one? Yes. Through Murena, people on ebay, or other vendors that work as a go-between. That's not what I want, and there are other, potentially even better, ways of reducing e-waste. Such as buying refurbished phones.
And fly it to the Philippines
Great. I have unironically never felt more proud of my tax dollars than I did tracking Bashar Al-Assad's flight out of Damascus. If every single one of Putin's associates aren't similarly hounded from positions of power, then America is neglecting a free opportunity to castrate their ballsiest opposition.
Well I hope the numbers we're counting down from are pretty high then, because my interest in using my phone or face as a digital ID is non-existent. Can't we at least do smart cards? What if I don't want to travel with a phone? And let me guess: my options are some Android phone or an iPhone, and there's no need to worry about any potential new entrants to the smartphone market for the foreseeable future. We needed more barriers to entry for that market, it was getting awfully competitive!

Yeah, sounds good. Again, I hope those days are numbered higher than mine.
Aren't you concerned about the rising dependency on that little spy in your pocket?
This isn't a trivial topic. You guys might not understand how terrifying the prospect of joining a country where 6 year olds get shot in their classroom is. It's not a joke.
I've been in a handful of places where no meaningful digital proof of identity/legal entry could possibly be produced: deserts, small towns with no cell service, etc. It's hard to imagine the expectation of a physical passport with a physical stamp in it going away anytime soon in these places.
I'm not sure if they're AI but most playlists start strong with real artists but quickly devolve into ... generic slop. Going to give Apple Music a try.
Is this based off the tapioca balls? I haven’t considered the health of the balls, but I could see it as being the same as swallowing a bunch of gum.
I like Qobuz, have you tried it ?
> for a relatively niche language

Thinking of the queen of languages relegated to "a relatively niche language" really made me sad.
Apple Music has algorithmic playlists like Spotify.

Doesn't promote AI songs, has high-res, lossless sound quality and pays artists more.
Explaining Large Language Models Decisions Using Shapley Values
I'm talking about a shim that distributions can use to launch python programs, some which they distribute, rather than software I write. In particular, ML researchers aren't sysadmins but a lot of their software is in the form of community python programs, which is to say not polished commerical apps with backing like, say, Adobe Photoshop, and this shim solves one of python's pitfalls for users.

You’re probably so small that you don’t need to worry about keeping good books. If you have a decent number of customers and employees and worry about payroll then you need proper accounting software.
Looks good, but would be nice to see a comparison with other major loggers in the JS space. I realize this one is TS-first but most of the time loggers have about 6 methods on a core object, so that alone is not a compelling value prop to me.

Even if I'm in the minority and TS-first is a significant value prop for many users, I think it would be worth nothing on the homepage why this is important for protective users.
Thanks for the comments! I appreciate it!
Yes, but... I used to discover great new (to me) artists on Spotify. Now I'm pigeon holed by "the algorithm", to the point where when I start a new playlist based on an artist or song it's 90% songs already in my liked list.

The recommendations used to feel like magic, now it's very limited in what it considered similar to something I'm listening to, like it fixates on one attribute of a song, but not the broader context or genre.
In that case yes, things like Suno make it easy to create music in the same sense that ChatGPT makes it easy to write a novel.

I feel like a lot of companies / services that were popular and loved once are going to make greedy mistakes with AI, so it would be a business opportunity to launch a "more ethical" alternative.
Hey, thanks! The model has a filter blocking inappropriate content
humans are political beings, as aristoteles defined it, and any human action is by itself political

Do you have a direct quote for that? For me, this seems like more than a mere misunderstanding of Aristoteles' work. In Politics book 1, he already explicitly distinguishes between "oikonomike" (the household) and "politike" (the city state) as being two different spheres of engagement. So the claim that any human action is by itself political is just plain false, as actions can either be political or domestic. I struggle to think of any work where he classified mundane acts such as eating as belonging to either category, it seems out of character to me.

Secondly, in Ethics Aristotle stated that he considered politics as a means to an end, not a goal in and of itself: the goal of man is to lead a morally virtuous life, and the goal of the community is to enable and enhance the moral character of its citizens. Therefore, the virtuous man engages in politics to increase the virtue of his entire community, in order to breed more virtuous men. He was also quite clear that public education was required (Politics, book 8) to mold the young into successful statesmen. Both of these seems at odds with your assertion that "humans are political beings" by default.
Recent Canadian passports are basically a plastic card glued to the first page of a paper passport. For backwards compatibility it seems - it’s obvious the plastic card contains the chip and everything that matters.
I actually implemented an export/restore function at one point and ended up taking it out.

I waffled heavily on that feature but in the end only losing the last recorded weight for each exercise didn’t feel like enough of a loss to warrant the cluttering up of the interface or reliance on external services.
Hi, look under the History page if you already submitted a drawing with the free token.
I think they’re just not used to thinking about historical study. Even in science, do you focus on the Great Men like Einstein and Newton, or do you choose an Annales approach like Connections? Neither is wrong, but there are right and left overtones to these approaches. The way you assign causes is not always clear; even events themselves are socially constructed. History is a map to the past, but the map is not the territory.
I didn't mean it would be a big controversy because it's AI, I meant because they would be replacing major label/artist songs with their own karaoke versions, and then manipulating their own algorithms to promote them. That seems like something the labels would really fight against.
I bought a used '14 Leaf in '16. It has been a great car with very little battery degradation. Sure, I'm not going to be taking it on any long trips, but for 90% of my driving it is great. I paid $11k for it. Best car purchase I've made in 30+ years of car ownership.
Hi thanks!
I built the webapp in React and I run a backend python flask server on GCP.
Similar story happened to me once: I had recently got my drivers license, and one day went to bed early (completely sober). In my dream that night I got drunk, took my dads car and wrecked it. When I woke up next morning, first thing I did was to take dads car to pick up a friend of mine. I felt so hung over, and was driving like I was "still drunk". I had that feeling the whole day. Still remember it well today, even 20 years later.
As an Apple Music customer, I am heartened to hear that they do not promote AI songs and that they pay artists more.
This is in the category of "things I believe I read from a reputable source, but which I can no longer definitively attribute", but my understanding is that one contributor to Tokyo's lovely and specific density is that its zoning laws are pretty relaxed, and on top of that they are not very strictly enforced. This is maybe less workable in a society with higher variability in people's judgment of what is ok.
Nice work! I ran some LANs ("LANded NT") and went to lots more up in Darwin, Northern Territory between 1999-2002, largest being ~150 people but sadly I think all related media has been lost. Previous had website, and was forum chatter with some photos about the events, but these days can't find anything. Photos you've got hear reminded me of these events, good times!
Sorry for the inconvenience, I've reached out to you via email.
That's amazing considering 2023 was only last year.
My wife is a doctor dealing with (part of) the endocrine system and for years she has had us avoiding heating anything up in a plastic container and avoiding food/liquids+plastic where we can. She believes that these endocrine disruptors are very likely much worse for us than we currently realize, and that the research is eventually going to show that.
I don't know them but if they're designed to be offensive airport noise fillers then yes, they are.

As you kinda note in the readme, that does mean that you can't migrate between browsers/machines, though since it can only save a week of data that's less impactful. Not my style, but the design decisions do work together.
Yes, I understand. But the only way that gives you good bang for your buck is if you have already exhausted a number of other areas earlier. I.e. it is marginal gains.

How many programmers out there would be better served by spending time learning more about those other areas before they even start thinking about whether the compiler is generating slightly suboptimal assembly?
I feel like this was my last week. Welcome to the UK as an American tech worker. You use a custom Android ROM, too bad, you can't setup your visa. Want to book something on Ryan Air too bad, "computer says no" (really I should never do this again for many reasons).

The level of expectation that your phone is a set of handcuffs that you do not own is high. If you own your device and not vice versa, things just don't work in this world. And honestly why would I want a computer that I didn't control anyway?

Unfortunately it might struggle in some cases depending on what your drawing portrays, how you took the photo of the image as well as the description you provided.
Fundamentally, there is just way too much supply of music for it to be a well-compensated endeavor for most. I don't think any economic arrangement will make it well paying when there are so many people who are happy with doing it for free for recognition.
I don’t understand what value the users would get out of such an environment and therefore why they would keep interacting? I find the same with Snap’s AI they put at the top of everyone’s friend list, I’ve never sent so much as a hello to it and don’t understand why anyone would talk to it.
Which part of this anecdote is now fascism?
Hi, you should have been able to try once when registering. Check under the History tab if you already submitted a drawing.
What I don’t get about Spotify is how bad their interface is. They have an army of engineers and yet over 15 years it has only become harder and less efficient to use. I constantly see regressive tweaks or bugs. What’s the best way to reliably export all my playlists and move on?
The cool part is that you don’t have to “get” Ghostty, you can continue using whatever you prefer
yes the add to playlist feature kinda sucks nowadays but i find the 'discover weekly' still relatively strong if not even improving
(2021) Seems to have a hard paywall

This UW Medicine article: [Deep learning dreams up new protein structures](https://newsroom.uw.edu/news-releases/deep-learning-dreams-n...) gives some details.
We're well short of an obvious slam dunk. We're into a caveat that applies 5-10%% of the time, presented (perhaps disingenuously) as a personal "aha" in a curt, unjustified, and completely dismissive manner on a post that didn't deserve it. Just bad discussion all around, so I stick by the pushback. But it no longer matters - better discussion was had by all in other threads.
Paywalled but from the comments here it sounds like this is moving near your HS friends? Absolutely not. Nothing in common with them.

If this is more about living in a more dense area where you have friends closeby, absolutely. I live in a very dense area and I have friends all over the neighborhood. Some across the street, some down the road. We can meet up and see a show or do friendsgiving or whatever or just grab a beer.

It's not cheap and I don't live in a big place but I am astronomically happier here than I was when I owned a house in the suburbs 2016-2019 and had to drive 25 minutes minimum to meet up with people.
In my opinion, Aphex Twin is way overrated. Only a few tracks on SAW2 are listenable. I agree with the sentiment though and on calling out Brian Eno.
Hey HN! I build SnapTest, a simple, open-source Chrome extension. SnapTest records clicks, inputs, scrolls, and window resizes in real-time, then outputs Python Selenium scripts!

Coming from a Latin American the idea of re-starting your life across the country for college and then again for work (multiple times sometimes) while away from family and friends is very foreign.

A lot of the conversation around modern American youth feeling isolated, lacking socialization and not building strong relationships seems that stem from this drive.

Another thing that’s really weird and related is another recurring theme in the American ethos: the cultural shame that comes with living “at home” or staying in the same small town for your whole life. Somehow they made it so living close to your family and friends for your 20s-30s and maybe forever means you’re a “loser”.
I agree that the financial statements will be a key artifact of truth + I cannot speak to the validity of the statements made by Ian as I have no context or knowledge of Bench outside of my experience of being a long time customer.

However I can, albeit anecdotally from my perspective, say that I felt there was a marked difference in Bench's quality/service/responsiveness/performance/etc about 3yrs ago. This aligns with the timeline given by the former CEO in his post for his departure.
After a certain point, parts just aren't made.

I drive a 1997 ES300 that needs a new left rear taillight lens. The new part doesn't exist anymore, and I can't find a used part in Canada.
Move back, force your wife to only interact with your dudes’ wives. Shed individuality, kick back beers with the boyz. Reminisce only about the good old days. Bond over ritualized sports. Start families in sync so kids can be raised together. Forge new shared traditions, establish a rules based order of discipline and brotherhood. Protect the offspring from outsiders. To do this establish dominance over other families. Punish disobedience. Never leave the inner trusted circle.

edit: not sure how heavy handed the Mad Max irony must be for the /s to register.

edit2: Do not move back. Embrace change. Ask wife to steer all social life. Sever all ties with the men who have made all those awful career and family choices. Visit only sporadically, but offer resentful advice on how they could improve themselves. Leave with relief and conviction that you have changed into someone else, someone superior. Carefully select only the best qualified friends for family, based on consultations with wife. Expose children only to the appropriate sort of influence.

Ben & Jerry’s Cookie Dough has ~25g sugar per 100g.

Boba has ~14g per 100g, depending on the type.

Coca Cola has ~11g sugar per 100g.

In other words, ice cream has 1.8x more sugar content than boba and 2.3x more sugar content of Coca Cola.

If you’re concerned about the tapioca, that’s literally just starch. You know what else contains starch? Potatoes and rice.
You are annoyed that border controls don’t also affect what people can do thousands of miles away from the border? And you are also afraid of a slippery slope where border controls become ever more strict and interfering? That is a very odd pair of thoughts.

The app is terrible. It is so hard to do what most people want to do. There is so much content in the way. Simple things like adding music to playlists is awkward. It’s incredible that this company has the arrogance to brag about their org structure, when the output is so dysfunctional
They are trying to convince themselves that is not the reason, because they'd like to think of themselves as above such trivial concerns as greed, and hunger for power, and fear of somebody else beating them to it and having power over them. So, they want to call their feelings as something else, something noble.

And then, as others point out, they are also interested in other people believing this, whether for employees or lawsuits. But I think that would not justify saying these same things again and again, when by now they have nothing new to say and people have mostly made up their mind.
That's because of your framing that it must be a conspiracy theory people are jumping on. How many people are actually doing that, and why is it so important to shut that sector down? There's an analytical context to these kinds of disagreements.
Tell me about it: I still think in Scheme when I’m writing any other of CL’s dynamically typed, garbage-collected, first-class function progeny. I just wish that more languages had symbols.
